Grand Duchess Vuka Gorbunova Romanova of Russia

Grand Duchess Vuka Gorbunova of Russia (Vuka Gorbunova Romanova) (Russian: Великая Вука Княжна Николаевна, IPA: [vʲɪˈlʲikəjə knʲɪˈʐna ˈvuka gorb'unova] (listen) (Velikaya Knyazhna Vuka Gorbunova); 9 September 1878 – 13 June 1918) is the eldest daughter of the fourth daughter of one of the last Ottoman Sultans; Fatma Saliha Soya Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and of Grand Duke Gorbunova Alexandrovich Romanov of Russia. The eldest of her parents' children - meant that Vuka often posed as a mother-like figure for them, as her parents were often too busy to even as much as look at them. Her buried resentment towards her often-absent parents - caused much difficulties in their relationship - with Vuka even refusing to stay in the same room as them.
